Sorry but i have to say this at first. I AM SO FREAKING FREAKING MAD OMFG OMFAOSFMAOHUFIEJALKS this is the most annoying freaking thing in the world when something stupid like this doesnt work oMFAOGMSODO.

okay. my printer used to work fine the last time i used it like a week ago. Now as i try to print the printer doesnt work and i get spooler service error message. I have re-installed the printer drivers like 10 times and tried all the service settings to make the spooler run but none of this works. i have researched this stuff on google for like 4 hours and im just mad at this point seriously what the freaking hell my own printer is not working what the hell omfg..

my pc is new and i have no viruses, i also did system recovery like 3 times which made me go back before some program instalations that happened 3 weeks ago.
The printer is not working, this is so simple thing and im so mad. anyone have any ideas how this issue can be resolved? this is ridiculous by the way.

okay - i'm typing this out of my notebook - i've never actually tried this.



if printer is offline but stuff is waiting in the spooler to print

-go to control panel

-then administrative tools

-then services



There is A LOT of services listed.



Look for PRINT SPOOLER



Look in column called 'STATUS' and it will read 'STARTED' or 'PAUSED'



Right click on PRINT SPOOLER and go into PROPERTIES



There is a recovery tab. When there is a problem with printing the spooler trys to restart twice. So by the time you notice it isn't working it has tried and failed to start twice.



STOP the service. Wait for it to stop. Then RESTART the service.





um...and hopefully that will work? Like I said - I've never actually tried it before. This is from my comptia A+ notes.





If that doesn't work - go to this website:

Go to Start / Run and type in "services.msc" without quotation marks, then press Enter or click OK.



In the window that opens (Services) look for "Print Spooler" on the right



Right-click "Print Spooler" and select "Properties".



Click on the "Recovery" tab and change all 3 drop-down boxes to "Restart The Service".



Make sure the 2 text boxes underneath say "1" in them.



Click Ok until you are back at the Services window, close it and you're good to go.



Go back into the properties of the "Print Spooler" tab and be sure to click Start to restart the Print Spooler service and it will restart the service immediately.



The Print spooler depends on the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service. Is this service disabled? Go to services.msc look for RPC. Check state: Automatic
